Stage 2: Floor demolition and cement board

So... floor removal. "This is the floor that never ends- yes it goes on and on my friends."

On of our wonderful lunch ladies at school kept sneaking me cardboard boxes for weeks and my job was to keep piling the broken tile into boxes and then carry the boxes to the garage. This was the one stage I was most nervous about because I thought it would be really tough and take forever. Thankfully aaron did most of it because I was still in school and didn't have energy on week nights to do much kitchen help- also I do more of the finishing details, painting, and patching- so we make a good team. Looking back it was too too bad, but definitely not too, too fun either.
